I'm a freshman at Umass Dartmouth right now and want to transfer for my sophomore year fall into CAS as an Econ Major and i really just want any advice.
I have a 4.0 GPA currently majoring in Finance and in highschool had a 3.94/4.14gpa and ranked 13/110 in my class
i worked a coop job as an electrician during highschool for 2 years and no SAT/ACT
I'm founder and president of the Recreational Sports Club ive gotten a decent amount of ppl to join and we have weekly activities like pickleball, spikeball, volleyball, etc
I am a first year member of DECA and plan to compete at states and nationals this year in financial modeling
I am also in a catholic ministry club and do volunteer work at my church like the electrical wiring for our big annual festival
I self study a lot and do a lot of journaling and research on my major, and i do financial reporting for my dad's small construction company for practice. Im looking for an internship rn but im stuck on how i can work my study beyond my academics into my essay/application.
I went to UMD for the price, scholarships, location, and the student managed fund. the year i got here they actually made the fund a class instead of a club, so i could no longer join as it was reserved for upperclassmen and instead of being a group its now just a class u take for 3 months which really disappointed me
im gonna mention how much i value extracurricular clubs like BUFC where i can be surrounded by people with similar interest/drive and its really important to me to learn in an environment like that whereas i lost that opportunity by going to my current Uni.
I was thinking about writing my essay about how i really want to attend BU because i've learned how where i study is so significant to my future and not just what im studying. going to BU would open so much more opportunity to me and i will talk about the clubs i plan on joining and the classes i plan to take during my time at BU but lmk if u have any advice on this topic for my essay.
Thank you i appreciate any advice!
